Four years after the events—someone of consequence should be able to provide an accurate count of those killed on Jan. 6, 2021.
This from wndnewscenter.org.
The tally should be a simple calculation. January 6 was not, as The View’s Sunny Hostin insists, “like the Holocaust.”
The January 6 deaths can be counted on one hand,
not in the millions, but still no one gets it right.
Certainly not Attorney General Merrick Garland:
On this day, four years ago, police officers were brutally assaulted while bravely defending the United States Capitol.
They were punched, tackled, tased, and attacked with chemical agents that burned their eyes and skin.
Incorrectly, the New York Times put the nature of those injuries in perspective in a February 2021 article on January 6’s “Scope of Violence.”
The reporters began the article by listing the injuries suffered that day by the police. But in reality, the list was very short:
One officer lost the tip of his right index finger. Not exactly the Holocaust. And this injury may have been the result of friendly fire.
A report that an officer’s fingertips were blown off. Blown off? The only ones carrying munitions that day were the police, and they had a near monopoly on chemical agents.
On Jan. 7, 2024, Merrick Garland stated:
Today, I am thinking of the officers who still bear the scars of that day as well as the loved ones of the five officers who lost their lives in the line of duty as a result of what happened to them on January 6, 2021.
Five officers? The actual count was zero.
On Jan. 7, 2021, Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died after suffering a pair of strokes, unrelated to the events of January 6. “Someone in authority”—the New York Times would cite “two law enforcement officials”—made the conscious decision to have Sicknick “murdered.”
On Jan. 8, the Times told its readers that “pro-Trump rioters” struck Sicknick with a fire extinguisher. The Times added a chillingly fraudulent detail:
With a bloody gash in his head, Mr. Sicknick was rushed to the hospital and placed on life support.
To sell this hoax, the House leadership honored Sicknick with a public memorial in the Rotunda of the Capitol and buried his autopsy report for more than a hundred days until forced out by Judicial Watch.
In the 200 days following January 6, four officers committed suicide. Instead of exploring why they might have done so, Garland simply added them to the day’s body count.
At 1:06 p.m., while Rep. Paul Gosar was challenging the certification of the Arizona vote, Capitol Police Deputy Chief Eric Waldow ordered his people to open fire on the protesters now numbering about a thousand and still peaceful.
Stan Kephart, the Epoch Times use-of-force expert, said:
That was a shooting gallery out there. There was no tactical reason for it at all.
And the Trump supporters who died January 6:
– The first death that day was 50-year-old Trump supporter Benjamin Phillips who collapsed and would soon die of natural causes. Phillips’ was the only death for which the police were blameless,
– The police bear responsibility for the second death. At 1:28, 56-year old father of five Kevin Greeson collapsed after a Capitol Police flash bang exploded nearby. Greeson would soon die of cardiac arrest,
– At 2:43 p.m., Lt. Michael Byrd shot and killed unarmed 35-year-old Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, and
– The fourth and final death occurred nearly two hours later. Rosanne Boyland, 34 (more below).
Kephart considered the shooting “an arrestable offense,” and said:
Ashli Babbitt was murdered. She was shot and killed under the color of authority by an officer who violated not only the law but his oath.
Boyland was caught up in a crowd and swept into a tunnel entrance.
Although numerous doors and windows had been opened for hours, the DC Metro Police guarded the tunnel as though it were the Alamo.
When the police made a concerted surge to drive back the protesters—what protester Kim Sorgente called “a synchronized chemical attack, then a charge”—the protesters tumbled backwards. The chemical irritant displaced the oxygen in the tunnel, causing Boyland to collapse at the tunnel entrance.
Ignoring the screams of the protesters, the police kept pushing more and more people on top of her. Once the other protesters were pulled off the pile, Boyland lay momentarily lifeless and exposed at the tunnel entrance.
For no good reason, MPD policewoman Lila Morris picked up a tree branch, raised it up with both hands, and swung wildly. Morris struck Rosanne over the head at least three times before the branch snapped and flew out of her hands. Boyland died soon thereafter.
President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday incorrectly (perhaps not properly informed) stated:
The only one who was killed [on January 6] was a beautiful young lady named Ashli Babbitt.
In fact, Ashli’s was the third death, and she was the second person “killed.” Rosanne Boyland was also killed—the third. And she was the fourth to die that day.
In justifying the shooting of Ashli Babbitt, the Justice Department explained the communications that shooter Lt. Michael Byrd was processing. WHAT?
For her efforts, Morris was sent to the Super Bowl. For his, Byrd was promoted to captain. There is no mystery to either of these killings. Both were captured on video.
In the trials of the J6ers, judges and prosecutors would routinely repeat the saga of the five faux martyrs to provoke the jurors.
The Left has a reason to lie. Cowed by the Left, the Right made little effort to correct the record.
In the weeks and months to follow, the truth will come out. Merrick Garland must already be searching suitable countries without extradition treaties.
